Disappointing but readable

I was really looking forward to the latest addition to the Dark Hunter series. We’d initially met Jess in Dance With The Devil (Zarek’s story) and he came across as another character with a story to tell.
I feel a bit let down by Retribution. There was something a bit haphazard and rushed about it, ... (continue)

While overall I did enjoy this third part of the Zodiac series, there were definitely times when I was left completely lost as to what was going on.

The only reason I gave this book 3 stars was the Sherrilyn Kenyon story. It was the only one that made this book interesting. The other stories were bland, boring and, at times, tedious to read. Worth picking up if you're following the Dark Hunter/Dream Hunter series though.

Brilliant. Mercy ends up with the right guy, as far as I'm concerned - I won't tell you which one. As usual, Patricia weaves a story that keeps you interested and questioniong almost to the last page. And, hopefully, there's more to come!

If you haven’t read Changes, then be aware that this review may contain spoilers as it’s a bit hard to review this book without acknowledging what happened in the last one!
Jim Butcher claims that the end of Changes is not a cliffhanger – he killed off Harry, didn’t explain who killed him and left us hanging until now to find out what’s going on.. if that’s not a cliffhanger, then nothing is! Either way, when I finished reading Changes, I howled out loud at the typical way Jim left us wanting more and so have been waiting impatiently for this latest installment. . . and boy, I wasn’t disappointed!
From the first page, it’s like meeting up with an old friend – one where it doesn’t matter how long it’s been since you last spoke, you simply pick up where you left off and carry on. That’s how it is with Harry Dresden. From the opening lines, you’re back in Chicago and - for a few minutes – you forget Harry’s dead… that is until he reminds you . . which he does, loudly and often.
Jim’s writing style is as superb as always, in fact I’d say even more so on this book. The story – which I won’t spoil for those who haven’t read it – is sharp, with the sarky quick-witted comments Dresden fans know and love and the other characters from previous books make an appearance too, as well as some new ones.
I read Ghost Story over a weekend, breaking only to feed the kids and sleep, and found it hard to drag myself away from it even then. The story keeps you guessing and, I don’t know about anyone else who has read it, I wasn’t expecting some of the final results at all. There are some very real laugh out loud moments as well as some where you’re more vocal with “Holy Crap!” I suggest you don’t read this in public unless you don’t care about the odd looks you may become the recipient of!
Overall, a fantastic addition to the Dresden series and, as per usual, it has left me waiting in impatient anticipation for the next one in the series. If you haven’t given the Dresden Files a try yet, do so you won’t be disappointed.
